Default Opinion on my 1.8 bp block

Hey everyone,

I wanted to see what everyone thinks my current engine build would be capable of if I went turbo. It's currently an ITB setup running on an ME442. It isn't a track car so I am not as worried about over heating.


Engine specs: 1996 BP block with BP05 head.1) Wiseco 84mm pistons at 10.5 compression. 2) Manley rods3) King Bearings4) ARP head and main studs5) supertech +1mm Valves6) supertech 79lb dual valve springs7) stock cams/Timing cam gear 8) NB1 oil pump9) roadster sport 4 catless exhaust10) danst engineering ITBs11) stock wasted Spark system12) AC and power steering delete 13) stock cooling system

Thanks!

10.5 compression isn't ideal but some light boost might be fun. The rest of it looks good besides stock radiator.
